"General!"

Meng Da was in the Guannei, or the city, as usual, and was about to go back to the house, when he heard someone shouting behind him, and when he looked back, it was the little colonel below, nodded, and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"General, the people below went out of the city to hunt today, and they were lucky enough to hunt an elk, don't you want the general to work hard in military affairs these days, and send it to the general to make up for it?"

Meng Da's eyes flashed with a hint of understanding, what kind of person is below, it is clearly Xiaoxiao himself, but he also understands, if it is not his duty, he also wants to!

"Okay, but it's just a hind leg."

The little colonel suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and beckoned: "Quick, hurry up and cut off the general's hind legs." Then, Little Liuzi, you send the general to the mansion. ”

Meng Da had nothing to do, but asked casually: "Is there any news coming back from the Golden Bull Road?" ”

"The general is relieved that no trace of the Ming army has been found." The little colonel also replied casually.

"That's it, you can go too!" Meng Da's face did not fluctuate at all, and he turned around and left after speaking.

"Thank you, General."

Golden Bull Road, there is a famous stone cow road, because the Qin King cut Shu, stone cow dung gold, Wuding opened the road and got the name. Jiameng Pass is one of the Xiongguan on the Golden Bull Road.

Jiameng Pass, to be precise, should be a city, is the only Xiongguan in this land with the city as the pass. The real Jiamengguan is now the West Gate. There were 8,000 soldiers stationed in the city, and thousands of households of the people, totaling more than 20,000 people.

Jiameng Pass, between the overlapping mountains, cut off the connection between Hanzhong and Chengdu, and the peak is connected to the jade base, the ground is connected to the Jincheng, the sword pavilion is with the Jiameng, the Jialing and the pillow white water, the male of Chengtian is also.

After Liu Bei became emperor, he wanted to change his name to "Hanshou", but he has not yet achieved his goal.

"Newspaper~"

After Meng Da returned home, he asked his subordinates to build a fire in the courtyard and roasted the deer legs himself. It's just that the sky doesn't follow people's wishes, and after just eating two bites, a horse galloped to report.

"What?" Meng Da was very displeased.

"General Qiyu, the inner road has found traces of the Ming army."

"What?"

Meng Da felt that there was something wrong with his ears: "Inner Dao? Are you sure you're not wrong? Taurus Road? ”

The inner road, in fact, is also the Golden Bull Road, but in order to distinguish it, it is called the Inner Golden Bull Road, referred to as the inner road.

"That's right, general, it's the inner road, and I found a large number of Ming troops, and the direction of their march is Zitong!" Come to a quick explanation.

"Someone!"

"General!"

"Quickly send an order to the whole army!"

"Yes, General."

After Meng Da finished speaking, he looked at the person who came and said, "How far is the Ming army from here?" How many people are there? ”

"At this time, it should have been more than 100 miles away, and there are no less than 20,000 people and horses, all of whom are infantry troops."

Hearing the infantry, Meng Dacai was slightly relieved. But think about it, if you can suddenly appear after Jiameng Pass, it can't be a large number of cavalry.

"Have you summoned General Zhang to Zitong?" Meng Da asked again.

The person who came looked sad, but he also quickly replied: "The subordinates and others accidentally discovered the Ming army, and only then did they roughly estimate its number, and their traces were exposed, and the robes of the companions were all sacrificed on the way to cover their subordinates. ”

Meng Da was silent for a moment, and said: "Don't bother the two masters, you immediately select people, and then go to investigate, be sure to figure out the marching speed of the Ming army, as well as ...... Trend! ”

"Yes, General."

Someone came and stepped back.

As soon as Meng Da finished eating, the little colonel rushed over.

"General, what happened?"

Meng Dadao: "The Ming army has appeared behind, and it may be necessary to attack Zitong, and it is necessary to have troops to support. ”

"This ...... Impossible, right? ”

"Forgive me, no one dares to lie about the military situation!" Meng Da also thought about it this way, but then rejected this idea, "Don't worry, someone has been sent to investigate again." ”

The colonel exhaled lightly and complimented: "The general is wise." ”

"Even so, we should send troops as soon as possible, otherwise you and I can't afford to wait for the news to reach Your Majesty's ears." Meng Da's face was bitter, and he said.

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but breathe for a while, and then he realized that the seriousness of the matter was beyond his imagination, and hurriedly said: "Yes, my subordinates will go and prepare." ”

Seeing that he was about to turn around and leave, Meng Da hurriedly shouted, "Wait! ”

"General?"

"Although this matter is a great responsibility, it is difficult to ensure that it is not a plan for the Ming army to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, so it is impossible to dispatch them all, if you lose Jiameng Pass, you will simply wait for death."

Meng Dadao: "So, this general hopes that you will guard Jiameng Pass, and this general will lead the troops to intercept or support." ”

"This ......"

The little colonel was a little moved, but still said: "General, Jia Meng is very important, or the general should stay?" ”

Meng Daben made up his mind, and when he heard such words, he couldn't help but hesitate.

Seeing this, the little colonel also hesitated, he was a person who was afraid of death, and he didn't know which side was safer.

"Forget it, I'm going to go in person."

Meng Da's words can be regarded as making the final decision, no matter what Xiao Xiao has in mind, it is too late.

……

"General, there's movement!"

Tiantai Mountain in the west of Jiameng Pass, Chu Yan has been waiting here with people for more than a day. Boredom, hearing the words of his subordinates, Chu Yan stood up with a "pout" and said, "How many people are there?" Who leads the troops? ”

"General Hui, about 4,000 people went out of the pass to the west, look at its banner, it should be Mengda."

"Okay, God help me!"

Chu Yan was overjoyed and said: "Let everyone have a good rest, and we will go to the pass tonight." In addition, pass the news to Zang Ba and ask him to be careful, so as not to be attacked from front to back. ”

"Yes, General."

Zang Ba made a rebellion in the mountains, was caught by the Ming army, and after Gongsun Du personally persuaded him, he finally chose to surrender. Gongsun Du then arranged it under Chu Yan, and now he is his right-hand man, and it is precisely because of this that he can lead a single one.

After Chu Yan's mountain army completed the siege of Cao Cao, it received a new order to travel through Funiu Mountain and go to the area of Micang Mountain in Hanzhong.

After two years of seclusion, he is now out of the mountains again.

Ahem, not a hermit!

After two years, the mountain army can be said to have completely accustomed to the climate of Shudi, especially since they have more training in the mountains, and they can safely ignore the uncertainties here and complete the transformation.

Unlike Gongsun Du, Chu Yan had been traveling to the vicinity of Jiameng Pass for a long time, which stemmed from Gongsun Du's miscalculation of their marching speed. When she arrived at the destination, Chu Yan still followed the agreement and waited for the agreed time to arrive. In his spare time, he also led his subordinates to conduct a detailed investigation near Jiameng Pass, and finally found that the order given to them by Gongsun Du was the most appropriate. This made Chu Yan puzzled-

"Your Majesty has never been here, so why does he know that this is the best choice? Don't...... Your Majesty is really a fairy? ”

Not a skepticism, but a firm belief that this is the case.

Speaking of which, the little colonel secretly went out to hunt from time to time, and he really let Chu Yan bump into him twice, if it wasn't for the fact that the time hadn't come, I am afraid that he would have given him the result a long time ago.

It's night, in the dead of night.

Chu Yan led the people to raid Jiameng Pass, and under the "vigorous" resistance of Xiao Xiao and others, it took less than half an hour to take them all.

"Do you want to die or live?" Chu Yan looked at the little colonel kneeling in front of her, her eyes full of disdain.

When the little school heard this, he hurriedly responded: "I want to live, I want to live!" If the general has any orders, he will say that the little one knows everything and says everything! ”

The disdain in Chu Yan's eyes was even worse, although there was a surprise attack before, but he didn't expect that Xiao Xiao just resisted a little and chose to surrender, he was completely afraid of death!

"Do you have any connection with Langzhong?"

"Huh?"

The little colonel exclaimed, seeing that Chu Yan's face sank, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes!" ”

"Be specific." After Chu Yan finished speaking, she sat down on the chair and looked at Xiao Xiao with unpredictable eyes.

The little colonel was a little unsure of Chu Yan's intentions, but he was afraid of death, and finally decided to tell the truth: "General, because the people in Jiameng Guancheng are small and outnumbered, and the tax is less than 8,000 soldiers, so it is necessary to transport grain and grass from Zitong and Langzhong. ”

"Well, go ahead." Chu Yan nodded.

"There are also a lot of garrisons in these two cities, but fortunately, there are many people, and the harvest is now higher than before, so they take turns to deliver grain and grass. A few years ago, the weather was getting colder, and Zitong and Langzhong successively sent about half a year's worth of grain and grass, and now there is almost half a moon. ”

"Next time, will it be Zitong or Langzhong?"

"Zitong!"

"Hmm!" Chu Yan's brows furrowed, "Is there a way to let Lang Zhong send it first?" ”

"It's basically impossible, unless you get your majesty...... No, it was Liu Bei's order. The little colonel looked at Chu Yan with some fear, very worried that what he had just said would provoke him.

Chu Yan was not angry, pondered for a while, and said: "You said that if Zitong is lost, and the grain and grass in Jiamengguan are insufficient, will Lang (lang, four sounds) send grain and grass over?" ”

"This ...... I think so! Xiao Xiao thought about it with his modest courage, and thought that it was very likely.

"In that case, you know what to do, right?"

Looking at Chu Yan who was smiling and groaning, Xiao Xiao was sure that as long as he dared to pop out of his mouth half a word, he would be split in half. In this way, what else could he do, he could only nod, and then asked cautiously: "It's just that the general is not worried about small reports?" ”

"Reporting?"

Chu Yan glanced at him contemptuously and said disdainfully: "If you have a kind, you can try it." ”

"Uh~"

This is embarrassing, and the little school can only bow his head and admit defeat.
